Become a Jazz Series Contributor
Whether you are a first-time or a sustaining contributor we think with your generosity we can reach the very auspicious Individual Donor Campaign Goal of $50,000, and exceed our previous best. We also encourage you to ask others to do likewise. The fact is your support is vital. Ticket revenue accounts for approximately one-third of our operating, programming and educational budgets. The remaining two-thirds arrives from other sources including tax-deductible contributions from people like you. Today, the Jazz Series stands as one of fewer than 10 all-jazz, independently run programs in the United States that is located in a market of 200,000 people or fewer.
An easy way to contribute to the Jazz Series: Electronically, directly and securely via recurring donations
While many of you contribute annually, which is fantastic, the Jazz Series now accepts gifts the same way you might pay your bills: directly — electronically and securely — and on a recurring basis. Although we love gifts on an annual basis — and that option remains available — more and more people contribute electronically, directly and securely on a monthly basis. You can also contribute quarterly or semi-annually, and you can pick any amount you like and donate via your credit or debit card or through your checking or savings account.
- Make a single online donation now.
- Make automatic monthly donations from your checking, savings, or credit card accounts.
- Help out at no cost to you!
